In this course we will explore different ways Generative AI can assist you in exploring, planning and developing materials for learning purposes. Too much use of Generative AI creates bland, homogenous and sometimes inaccurate results and gets in the way of your learning about what each tool or teaching method can offer. The best way to learn about the most effective and ethical use of Generative AI tools is to do tasks manually first. If you look at the marking rubrics for the assignments in this course you\u2019ll notice that the majority of the grades are assigned for exploration, experimentation and reflection which can sometimes be messy and unpolished \u2013 and that\u2019s great. This learning process is much more important than the final product of this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second half of the course we will be exploring Generative AI, looking at a range of tools that can help you create lesson plans and learning materials efficiently as well as discuss some of the ethical and environmental issues that some Generative AI tools present.
